Review of WPAdverts

Setting up WPAdverts

The best way to install WPAdverts plugin in through your WordPress dashboard.

Log in to your website’s wp-admin panel and navigate to Plugins – Add New. Search using the keyword WPAdverts and click on Install Now.

Once the installation is complete, activate the plugin.

Creating a new ad

Once the plugin is installed, you will be able to see the “Classified” section on your WordPress dashboard.

You can see a lot of options here. Click on ‘Add New’ to create a new ad.

This screen will look very familiar to you. It’s basically the same screen which comes up when you are creating a new post or a page in WordPress. However, you will find additional information here for your ads like the contact details, pricing and location.

Let’s take each section one at a time for easy explanation.

Heading and content description remains the same. You give a title to your listing and describe what the product is all about, its features and all the information that a potential buyer would like to know.

Next comes the Categories. Make sure to accurately select a category that you product belongs to. This not only helps potential buyers in searching for the product easily, it improves the chances of you making a sale.

Then comes the additional information that you won’t see in your regular WordPress posts or pages entry. Here you need to provide the seller details, price and contact information.

Then comes the gallery where you can add images for your listing,

And that’s pretty much about it! A new ad can be created in just under a minute!

What’s best is that any of your website members can create an ad and sell their stuff on your website – and that too hassle free.

This is how the finished ad looks like.
